Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The London Poor Clergy Holiday Fund was founded in 1876 by Archbishop MacLagan when he was Vicar of Kensington, to enable the poorer clergy of the Diocese of London to have a holiday outside London. The Fund was administered by the Archdeacons of the Diocese. Each application was considered on its merits by one of the Archdeacons. Usually the grant was for a summer holiday, but occasionally could be for convalescence after illness during the winter months. Block grants were made to the Dioceses of Southwark and Chelmsford (London-over-the-Border). The Bishops of these Dioceses were responsible for the details of administration. For a short account of the work of the fund compiled c 1930, see Ms 24925.
